Barrett Gets a Job Iowa Repub licans Hold State Convention and Agree on Tariff Plank Both ; Fac- . :' ' m s v 'tions Claim - ' v: r 7 Victory. . Hanna, WyoM Jane 30. At 10: 30 A. M. today an explosion of fire damp in mine No. 1 of the Union Paeifio Coal Company snuffed out the lives of 236 men, and injured ecores of others, and caused the de struction of a vast amount of prop erty. The mine was not fired, 'as stated in the eaily reports, but the explosion was terrific, and complete ly shattered the timbers of the main shaft and numerous entran ces, filled the workings with debris, and those of the miners that were not killed oqtright by the explosion were buried alive. x The explosion was heard for ma ny miles around, and attracted peo ple from the adjoining settlement. Huge timbers and railroad iron were .hurled from the mouth of the the shaft a distance of 200 and 300 feet, i Superintendent E. S. Brooks and a large force of men went to work with a will to remove the de bris from the shaft and reach the entombed miners. Their progress into jt be mine was blocked by the. foul gases, and several times they were forced to the surfa. e. All day the rescuing party work ed, the force being increased from time to time by the arrival of ranchmen and others from near-by settlements, and by those of a relief train sent out from Rawlins, which arrived about 2 o'clock in the after noon, v '':: ' '' v About 1 o'clock this afternoon four men were taken out alive, and hal,an hour later they were follow ed by 42 others. Many were un conscious and had to be carried from the workings. Some were injured, but none fatally. Sev eral are in a critical condition. Bat it is believed all will recover. ; Two hundred and eighty-two men went down in the mine at 7 o'clock this morning, and up till a late hour tonight only 48 have been ac counted for. Of this number two are dead. It was , some time after the explosion occurred that the first man was brought to the surface. He was followed by others until 1 o'clock, when the last were brought out. The rescuers were unable , to penetrate further into the mine un til additional openings had been made to permit fresh air,- to reach the lower levels and. clear away the foul gases. ( ..' ' " Horses and scrapers were put at work hauling debris away from the shaft, and cars were pushed down the incline, loaded and hauled back up the tipple and - dumped. ; ... The work is progressing .slowly, owing to the narrow space in which the rescuers are compelled : to , operate, but by daylight the mine should be opened "sufficiently to permit of deep explorations and the rescue of! the dead bodies. , : . Late tocigbt a party of rescuers; reached four mules that were alive, and this caused hopes to arise, in the breasts of the tired workers and the anxious women and children gathered about the shaft) It is faint hope, however. ' for experienced mine bosses and miners ' say . that when the imprisoned men are reach ed all will be found dead. Some ot the miners that escaped said that they saw twenty dead bodies in en try No. 17. , , They reported that many of. the men were crazed by the explosion, and ran hither and thither in the mine. Many of these could have escaped, but they laid down, buried their faces in their hands and gave up the fight. Of the 243 dead about 175 were married and leave large . families. About 100 were Finlanders, 50 were colored and the remainder were Americans. , The scenes at the mines are heart-rending. Wives and children of men who are known to have been inside constantly hang about the shaft, kept only by cooler heads from plunging in to the dark abyss. Washington, June 30. John Barrott, of Portland, ex-minister to Siain, is to be appointed, minister to Argentina to succeed ex-Gover-. nor Lord, whose term expires Octo ber 16. Although Barrett's friends have known for some time that he was to get this position, thsy had been pledged to' secrecy, and the announcement, was to have been de ferred until Barrett could close up his work with the St. Louis exposi tion.'':; ::- Barrett, it is understood, is Pres ident Roosevelt's ehoice for the Ar gentine ' mission. . The ' president greatly admires the . Oregon man, and only last winter wanted to make him .minister to Japan. When the appointment was declin ed by Barrett, because of objections raised by the Japanese government, the president looked about for another place for him, and it ' was not until be heard of the coming retirement of ex-Governor Lord that he decided upon Barrett's ap pointment. .

Sigourney . ; i ; f . ; I The Republican State Conven' (jon Dominated the foregoing ticket and adopted a platform of princi ples. All the candidates were nom inated by acclamation, with the ex ception of State Superintendent, for which office Mr. Riggs ; was nominated on the third ballot, Ms opponents' being present . Superin tendent R. C. Barrett, , of Osage, and.H. L. Adams, of West Union: : Harmony marked the proceed ings ot the convention, all of its actions being by unanimous vote. with the exception of the nomma tion of State Superintendent,, but after the ticket had been completed and the platform adopted speeches were made which indicated that the Republican leaders of the state are not entirely agreed as to the details of tariff policy., The tariff plank adopted was one prepared by Senator "Allison, after conference with representative Republicans of the state. No objection was' made to it in the committee on resolu tions, nor on its presentation tojthe convention. Governor Uummmgs in his speech accepting renomina tion approved the. platform 1 in its entirety, but announced that he would continue to hold to all the views expressed in his speeches within the last two years, . Senators Allison and Dolliver who made speeches, endorsed the platform as a correct statement of Republican : principles, but Rep resentative Lacey, - of the Sixth District, and representative Cousins of the Fourth, spoke in opposition to the tariff changes. v ; While as heretofore stated the action 0 the convention was entire ly harmonious, both wings of the party are claiming victory tonight. Governor Cummings and his , sup porters say that today's tariff plank contains in substance all ; that is found in. last -year's plank while the "standpatters" are ' congratu lating themselves, upon . the elimi nation of the "shel-ter-to-trusts" clause, which , attracted so 1 much attention to the Iowa . platform' . of 1901-and-, 1902.- There , were but two contests today involving the questions of relative strength ' and the two wings of the party, and these ended with ' honors ,- even , The tariff plank is as follows: . , "We reiterate our faith in the historic policy of protection. Un der its influences our country, fore most in the bounties of nature, has become ' foremost - in production . It has enabled the laborer to suc cessfully insist upon good wages and has induced capital to engage in production with a reasonable hope of a fair reward. .Its . vindi' cation is found in the history of its success and the rapidity1 with which our National resources have been developed and our industrial inde pendence secured, and we heartily renew oua pledge to maintain it. "Tariff , rates enacted to carry this policy into effect should be just fair and impatial, equally opposed to foreign - control, , and dom estic monopoly, to sectional discrimina tion and individual favoritism, and must from time to time be, changed to meet, the varying conditions in cident to the process of our indus tries and their cbangiug relations in our foreign and , domestic com- meice. Duties that are too low should be iucreased, and - duties that are too high should be reduc ed. . THE TRACY REWARD. THE COURTS MAKE AN : AWARTJr' OF IT TO THOSE WHO ,OAP- ' ' TUBED HIM. : ' " . . The Amount was , Twenty-fivof ' Hundred Jury Hung in' the Huntington Trial at ' Ba- ' .- ! ' ' ker City. . Davenpert, Wash., June 30. At1 conclusion of the testimony in the ' ; Tracy reward case Judge' Neal took ' -the case from the jury and instruct ' ed them to bring in a verdict in fa- vor of the plaintiffs,' who are : the -Creston1 posse. No arguments were 1 made to the jury. All of the de-'' fondants except Goldfinch had pre-i-' viouely ' withdrawn their claims.. ' The reward is $2500. The Oregon. reward, which wa6 received by the Creston men,' was $1500.; Goldfinch 1 will take an appeal. The jurors are indignant at bfing ? : compelled to sign a verdict which ' they did hot reach. : ' Almost to " man they stated after the trial they ! Would have given Goldfinch an io- ' terest in the reward. The verdict gives ' general satisfaction, except ' ! that Goldfinch is left ouL'- Publia ' .sentiment in the county is strongly " ih favor of the;boy and the CreBtofccv ' posse. The trial has lasted 2 daye and has aroused deep interest.' iThe fact that Goldfinch did not' communicate directly to Tracy's'1 captors the news of the outlaws whereabouts lessened his chances v of interest in the reward. ; An ef fort was made to show that Gold finch, acting through Sheriff GardV ner," captured Tracy. .; The defense', however, failed to show that Gard ner made the capture. This left no chance for Goldfinch to recover. - Baker City, June 30. The trial of ex-Sberiff Huntington came an end with a hung jury this after-V, p noon." The' j ory remained out ; all-'- night and came into court early " ' this morning and asked the judge to read his instructions again. They, A retired and deliberated nntil noon,' , when they again came in and asked to be discharged, becausethe fore--man said they could not 'agree. They were practically agreed on the general verdict, but could not agree on the amount ot the sum embes-t zled by Huntington. ; -The judg .'! tent them out again and kept them until 3 o'clock, when they were dicfr charged. ' ' ' K' J:- The law requires that in case the 1 jury finds the defendant guilty, then they must specify the amount he has embezzled. One of the jury- men said that if they could have' ' agreed on this sum they could havs agreed upon a verdict. ; The first ballot was 8 for conviction and four - ' for acquittal; and later it is said "' there were 11 for conviction and, one for acquittal.' This was on the general verdict. On the amount to ' : be named in the .verdict they were very much divided.
